Splitsville in Hollywood

7.1-Apple-Pitt-_Madonna.jpg

Losing Their Religion (Not to Mention Their Love and Freedom)...It was bound to happen sometime.

We're talking, of course, about the fact that celebrities blindly following the Kaballah trend were going to have to wake up at some point to the fact that giving a tenth of your income to your religion, "reading" a religious text by scanning your finger over it and wearing a little red string didn't make a lot of sense.

Hollywood is BAD: Birth, Anger and Divorce Rule LaLa Land This Week

6.24apple-pit_152_130.jpg

Celebs in the news this week are Jamie Lynn, Naomi Campbell, and Denise Richards.

The big news of the week is that the kid sister of Britney Spears at long last gave birth. Is it us or does it seem like she's been pregnant for roughly 877 years? Happily, Jamie Lynn seems to be on-again with Baby Daddy Casey Aldridge (or perhaps he's just been put on the Spears spending plan?) Either way, the pipe layer took her home from the hospital, though Big Sis was also there for the event (and, in typical form, created some hoopla when she left town).

Loose Lips Sink Hollywood Ships

6.16-apple-pittHeader.jpg

If there's anything celebrities are even worse at than maintaining healthy relationships, it's keeping their mouths shut about them -- not to mention about everything else.

It probably comes as no surprise to anyone that Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen are essentially verging on setting the world record for mud slinging, despite having sworn they'd chill on even mentioning one another's names. (We have to ask: what kind of a mind actually believes that calling someone "whatsherface" means you're not actually talking about her?)

Always a Dull Moment

6.9-apple-pitt-Header.jpg

Some Hollywood couples are boring no matter what they do. Others need only to breath and we're kept entertained.

We have great news for everyone who's so thoroughly anaesthetized by the Reese Witherspoon-Jake Gyllenhaal union that they've found themselves simply struggling to stay awake while perusing articles about what the World's Least Interesting Couple does with their time. But now it's time to focus on Reese's ex, Ryan. While he's clearly not going to be joining Mensa anytime soon (though proud Mensa member Sharon Stone may not be doing a whole lot lately to help the group maintain that image that it's for smart people), his body alone makes him worth caring about in our book. And guess what? He's given us another reason--by stepping out semi-officially with the woman who allegedly busted up his marriage, Aussie plain Jane Abbie Cornish. According to one of those sources that always seem to be around when celebrity couples are all over each other, "he was all over her" at Teddy's in Hollywood.

Soul Mates and Sex Tapes: What Makes Hollywood Love Go Round

6.3.apple-pitt-Sex-Tape-Header.jpg

What is it with Hollywood and soul mates? People are just always finding theirs in La La Land, whether it's Charlie Sheen and his new wife or Heidi Spencer and her winner of a boyfriend, Spencer. Yes, it's true--Speidi have declared themselves soul mated and announced that they will tie the knot. This news might even be interesting if they hadn't proclaimed it was all over before, yes? Well, the talent-free must do something if they want to stay in the news.

Love and Its Loss

Certain celebrity couplings and break-ups leave us scratching our heads, while others bore us to our very core.

5.27-apple-pitt-152-120.jpg

Some more mud has been slung in the Sheen-Richards divorce, as Denise has been pimping the hell out of her new E! reality show, Denise Richards: It's Complicated. Depending on who you believe, Denise either sent an email to Sheen's fiancé saying she still wanted some of Sheen's sperm or didn't. While picking whom to believe feels sort of like deciding between Sartre's No Exit and Dante's inferno, we may have to side with Denise on that one, given that charming missive her ex recently sent. Nevertheless, the craziest one of the bunch has to be the woman who's agreed to marry Sheen now, who's either blinded by love or doesn't know how to read.

Stealing Hearts and Headlines

The creative and extravagant lengths celebrities go to so they can stay in the news!

They say that love is blind. And for Mariah Carey, it may be deaf and dumb, too. Yes, it's true. The songbird from Long Island, who tied the knot with the 43-year-old head of her label at the age of 23, was apparently ready to give the whole marriage thing a try again -- this time at 37, with 26-year-old actor/musician Nick Cannon. Despite the 11-year age difference (when, it should be noted, the whole age difference thing didn't work so well the first time), despite the fact that she has both a new album and a new movie to promote and weddings are the kind of PR assaults that put publicists to shame, despite the news that her ring may well be the same one that Cannon's previous fiancée sported, Mariah is so positive this is the real thing that she's already talking babies.

The Long, Hot Summer

If you think sunshine and warm nights make you act up, you can only imagine what it does to celebrities
Summer is almost here, and you know what that means: lazy afternoons in the hammock, Long Island iced teas poolside, and Lohan mania. That's right, the summer of '08 may go down as the season when Lilo wasn't the only Lohan that you found yourself castigating around the water cooler. Because Living Lohan, the show that Mom of the Year Dina Lohan will be starring in along with Lindsay sibs Ali, Michael, and Cody, will debut. And based on what we've read about the other Lohan-ites, it promises to be chock full of moments that may well make Lindsay look like the healthy one. "I want it [fame] so bad," Ali told Teen Vogue. "So bad you don't even know. And now, it's actually happening." And all we can say is...it sure is.
